SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,944, dated June 10,18.84.

' Application filed July 17, ies. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.- I

Be it known that I, LoUIs L. ARNOLD, of

Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented anew and Improved Window-Sash, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved window-sash,which can easily be removed from the window-frame for washing the panes,painting the sash, replacing the panes in the same, &tc.

- Reference is.to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a crosssectional elevation of a window-frame provided withmy improved sashes, showing them swung down. Fig. 2is a front elevationof the upper sash, showing parts of the samein longitudinal section.Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the frame, showing the manner inwhich the stop-beads and parting-strips are held in place.

The bottom sash, A, which is toward the lnside of the room, is pivotedat its lower ened to the sash-frame by the pins E and the bolt, J, isthen passed through the casing in such a manner that it also passesthrough the staple H, passed through the aperture H, whereby the lowerpart of the stop-bead will be held in place on the window-casing.

The upper sash, K, is pivoted at its lower end to the lower ends of theside pieces of a U shaped frame, L, which frame is composed of sidepieces, Z, and the top cross-piece, Z, and is suspended from the sashropes or cords B, which pass over pulleys C and have weights at theends. The cords B are secured to the frame L at about one-third of theheight of the frame from the upper ends of the shanks, and can beremoved, as on the lower sash, A, by detaching the ropes. The sash K isprovided in its top cross-piece, Z,with a hook, M, or analogous device,adapted to catch on a pintle, N, projecting from the frame L, thusholding the sash in position within the frame L.

The cross-piece Z of the frame L may be so arranged with respect to theupper cross-bar of the sash K that the said cross-piece will be hiddenby the sash when the sash is in its normal position. If the upper sash,K, and its frame L, in which it is pivoted, are lowered, the upper sash,K, can be swung downward and toward the interior of the room, the sashswinging on the pintles n, by which it is pivoted to the frame L. Thebottom of sash K is recessed at P to receive a easing, into which passesthe pintle a. Check-studs may be used to prevent the said sash fromswing ing down too far.

That the lower part of the parting-stripO may be removed, theparting-strip is provided with a staple, Q, which is passed through aslot or aperture in the window-casing, and

is so located thatthe pin J can pass through it,and thus hold it inplace, in the same manner as it holds the lower'part of the stop-bead Gill-place. By this construction the upper sash, K, can be readily turneddown by re moving the lower portions of the parting strips 0, its frameL held in position in the window-frame, and all binding of the sash inthe frame prevented. a

I am aware that it is not new in windowsashes to lock the beads to thejambs by sliding bolts and staples, or to use grooved strips between thesash and windowframe, or to pivot the lower end of sash in an entirelyinclosing slide-frame, or to pivot-a sash to the stiles, or to pivot asash to side slats at the bottom and spring-latch it thereto at the top,or to hinge thelower section of apa'rting-bead and a sash so that thelatter maybe turned out; but

W'hat I do claim as new and of my invention In a window-sash, thecombination, with a window-frame, sash-cords B, and the removableparting-strips O, of the sliding frame L, composed of the side pieces,Z, and top cross-piece, Z, and provided with the pintles n, and the sashK, having its side bars pro- 'vided with the recesses P, to receive thepintles a, substantially as herein shown and described.
